Accurate Description of Item
One French Provincial Sofa
Appraiser Remarks
The style of your sofa is what's referred to as "French Provincial", a simplified version of 18th Century Louis XV furniture. This style was extremely popular, produced during the turn of the 19th Century, the 1930's and again in the 1960's. Furniture of this style was also produced by nearly every major North American furniture manufacturer. The style has most recently been revived as " French Country" and is still in production as French Provincial. Without actually physically examining pieces like this it's impossible to determine their vintage, but this does appear to be a piece dating from the second quarter of the 20th Century. What you paid is about what a comparable example would go for in good condition today.
